The European Union Ambassador to Uzbekistan, Toivo Klaar recently visited the Tashkent Botanical Garden to see ongoing landscaping and improvement efforts.
The European Union has contributed to the enhancement of the Tashkent Botanical Garden, a cherished landmark and one of the largest and oldest natural parks in the region. Nestled in the heart of Tashkent, the Botanical Garden serves as a unique space for recreation and scientific research, offering visitors a chance to explore the flora of five continents – Central Asia, East Asia, the Far East, Europe, and North America – with over 4,500 species of trees, flowers, and plants, the Delegation of the European Union to Uzbekistan reported.
The EU’s support has provided modern machinery to improve maintenance efficiency and new benches to create a more pleasant environment for visitors. Winter, a time for essential upkeep, is now more manageable thanks to these contributions. The EU encourages Tashkent residents and visitors to explore this extraordinary space, not only to enjoy its beauty but also to learn about the efforts being made to protect nature and biodiversity.
In today’s world, where environmental degradation and climate change present significant challenges, spaces like the Tashkent Botanical Garden play a crucial role in fostering awareness and promoting sustainable practices.
